Joining me on my 'Double Dares' series this week is the stunning Liloo :) She keeps me amused on Twitter and amazed with her bright, crazy, fun looks on her blog and Youtube. I think we share the idea that before anything else - make-up should be for fun! So it made perfect sense that I ask her to be my second challenger!

Liloo suggested we both find a MAC promo picture we like and try to recreate it as best we can. Ace! MAC promo pictures are always gorgeous, so I couldn't wait to get stuck right in...

More under the jump...

I recreated the make-up in the 'Cult of Cherry' promo image as closely as I could using entirely no MAC items - which was darn easy! Every colour in the image is easily dupe-able. Unfortunately though, I think you'd only carry it off if you have model features. Me? I looked like Frankenfurter on a bad day.

The only way to save this was to play with my camera....Y'know, to wash out, blur and de-saturate as much as possible?

[[ Nope...There was no saving this one! ]]

[[ I like this effect on eye makeup though...]]

To check out what look Liloo has recreated, stop by at her blog! I'm sure she'll blow you away :)

Thanks for challenging me, Liloo, it was a lot of fun and I rediscovered my love for lining my lips in black (how very goth.) Everyone, remember to check your email on Friday, I could be asking you next!

Not frankfurter in sight. This is flawless, love it. please please please do a picture tutorial on how you did the lips: they have so much depth and definition. I didn't like mine but it made me want to have a go at recreating others: this was so much fun. Thank you xx
